An association allowing
specialized companies
to make the most of their
distinctive qualities
The idea for establishing the Mitsubishi Packaging Association (MPA) was advocated by Mitsubishi Corporation and endorsed by the companies now participating in the association. The association is dedicated to contributing to the development and growth of the packaging industry.
The membership is made up of companies that are active in a broad range of fields, such as raw materials, processing, distribution, and machinery. The association was born out of the desire to make the most effective use of the distinctive qualities of each of the member companies in establishing a comprehensive packaging supply system, and to enable the packaging industry to contribute to the growth of the economy, improvement of the environment, and enhancement of the well-being of society.
Based on the strength of nearly 40 years of achievement since its founding, the association continues to provide a forum that brings together the specialized knowledge of all of its member companies and promotes the mutual exchange of information in order to meet customer expectations.
